Fashion’s biggest night returned to New York last night, and celebrities in attendance did a great job sticking to the theme. The sea of black and white outfits took the red carpet by storm at this year’s Met Gala, in honor of the late designer Karl Lagerfeld.
Met Gala’s theme “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” paid tribute to one of the most prominent designers in contemporary fashion history, and celebrities were asked to dress “in honor of Karl”. They certainly understood the assignment this time around and hit the red carpet in a wide variety of black and white outfits that included pearls and starched collars.
Dua Lipa, who co-chaired the gala alongside Roger Federer, Penélope Cruz, Michaela Coel, and Anna Wintour, hit the red carpet in a vintage ivory wool tweed Chanel gown from 1992. Many celebrities in attendance looked positively bridal in their white dresses, from Anne Hathaway and Rihanna to Kim Kardashian and Gisele Bündchen.
Black and black-white outfits were also all the rage at the gala, and Lily Collins, Cardi B, Lizzo, and Kendall Jenner were only some of the celebrities wearing them. Jessica Chastain took things up a notch by dying her hair platinum blonde and wearing shades just like Lagerfeld’s.
Doja Cat and Jared Leto found the most unique way to pay homage to the late designer—hitting the red carpet dressed as his beloved cat Choupette. Hollywood superstars certainly stuck to the theme this time around and found creative ways to honor Lagerfeld’s legacy, and we’re bringing you some of their best red carpet looks.
